Welcome to NameThatMovie, a Q&A site for movie lovers and experts alike.

Guidelines

- Please italicize complete works, like so: Jaws, for movies, TV shows, etc. and use quotations for partial works, which are only part of a complete work, like so: "Hey Jude", for songs, episodes, segments, etc.

- When referencing a movie title or actor's name etc., please place next to it (or below it), the corresponding URL from IMDb or Wikipedia. Please use canonical URLs.

When will this begin? I'm anxious to see the "Expert HQ" category even though there are plenty of mysteries left otherwise.

I continue to review old questions in case I've seen or read about those movies since I last read them.

EDIT: Do you realize how many questions have been answered but aren't marked as that? The answerer used "Comment", not "Answer". It gets frustrating to go to a question, read all that follows then find out it's been correctly answered. Isn't there some way to take those solved questions out of the lineup? You'd be surprised by how many could be moved out of the "Unanswered" category.

Absolutely. It's important to get all these unanswered questions (http://namethatmovie.org/unanswered) properly answered. And it is completely acceptable to change someone's comment to an answer or answer the question yourself, whichever seems most appropriate, if you feel it's the correct answer for the question and this will remove it from the unanswered list.

However, selecting a Best Answer has no affect whatsoever on removing questions from this list and experts should never select their own answer or other expert's answers as the Best Answer, unless they're the one who posted the question, because only the person who originally asked the question should ever select an answer to their own question.

Apologies as I did not explore the issue greatly enough in the past and gave bad information as to how to handle these situations, in addition to giving experts the ability to set BAs.

Fully understand the frustration of people bailing after asking a question or even worse, indicating that an answer was correct and then closing the question or just bailing without actually selecting the answer. This is a problem that will always be constant on all Q&A sites because it comes down to human decision or lack thereof and is not something that can be forced by us or automated by the system.

Know it's tempting to click on that beautiful gold star when you can clearly see that it was answered correctly, but this opens up a can of worms that's simply unmanageable. While some experts were showing excellent judgment in how and when they chose a Best Answer, some were simply answering a question and then immediately selecting their own answer as the Best Answer without any feedback from the questioner whatsoever and that is clearly an ethical issue.

So, while this was always an unwritten rule and an oversight and mistake on our part that experts had this capability, the rule is now set and made clear:

'Only the person who asked the question may decide if an answer is the "Best Answer" or not.'

Appreciate all your hard work, but this was an issue that needed to be fixed. Working on a better way for all experts to communicate with each other now. Keep an eye out for an update on this soon.
